O CHRIST the Life, look on me where I lie Ready to die: O Good Samaritan, nay, pass not by. O Christ, my Life, pour in Thine oil and wine To keep me Thine; Me ever Thine, and Thee for ever mine. Watch by Thy saints and sinners, watch by all Thy great and small: Once Thou didst call us all, -- O Lord, recall. Think how Thy saints love sinners, how they pray And hope alway, And thereby grow more like Thee day by day. O Saint of saints, if those with prayer and vow Succour us now.... It was not they died for us, it was Thou. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FONTAINEBLEAU (AUTUMN) by SARA TEASDALE INDIAN WOMAN'S DEATH-SONG by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS SONNET: 21.
